Last Weekend Of Summer Vacation

Ah it is the last weekend of Summer Vacation. We start school Tuesday, the day after Labor Day. Ever wondered what the history of Labor Day was, watch the short video to learn. Here in the South school starts the second, or third week of August. Being from the North, I follow a similar schedule to what I did as a kid. I probably will not post this weekend, but just relax, and enjoy before the school year starts. I hope everyone has a safe, and happy Labor Day Weekend.

I Have Some Football To Watch

Just a quick post today, as I am going to actually relax and watch some football. If you saw my post last Monday, I told you School Express, would have a free activity set to go with the Free themed unit, on Thanksgiving. Be sure to go to their website, and sign up for their free newsletter, to get a new free unit study every week.
